Economic Outlook

Italy is ranked as the world’s 9th largest economy with a GDP of over € 1.7 trillion and population of over 60 million. Since 2012 the deficit has been consistently below the 3% ceiling with the highest primary surplus of a 1.1% average during the 2009-2016 period.Italy’s economic structure primarily relies on services and manufacturing, where the service services sector accounts for almost three-quarters of total GDP and employs around 65% of the country’s employed population. The manufacturing sector accounts for about a quarter of Italy’s total production, employing 30% of the total workforce.2  Italy’s tertiary sector is agriculture, contributing to the remaining share of the total GDP. The manufacturing sector specializes in producing high-quality goods and is run by small to medium-sized enterprises.

Market Access Opportunity

Italy’s M&A market is competitive and robust, driven by a combination of both domestic and cross-border transactions in both private and public deals.

The most attractive sector for deal-making in the past years was financial services with 79 deals worth € 17 billion in 2017, followed by the industrial sector with a larger number of deals yielding less value – 189 deals worth € 7.9 billion.

Furthermore, the FDI has driven Italian M&A in recent months, with foreign dealmakers being drawn by the country’s reputation for world-class products.
